Got Oil?

A certain person has a blown piston ring or rings. He/She burns oil like crazy and one day checks the oil and there is none on the dipstick. So, said person adds 5 quarts of oil only to see that the oil is now 2/3 of the way up the stick.

If you added 5 quarts and you're only showing 2/3 up on the stick, you're leaking some oil straight out a hole in the bottom somewhere. Foru quarts should take you right up to the second dot on the dipstick. Get a new engine.

But he hasn't mentioned having big puddles of oil underneath his car after he fills it. Maybe he doesn't park it on pavement?

did that certain person wipe off the dipstick and recheck it, or did he pour the oil in the just glance at the dipstick?
